Most cities have a bus service, but they only rarely connect to smaller towns ("smaller" being relative here, like 30,000 people).

To put it in perspective, I live in a suburban apartment outside of a medium-sized city in Ohio. There is a single busline that goes through my neighborhood (which thankfully has a stop right outside my complex). A bus comes by once an hour between 7 AM and 7 PM.

This can get you to work if you're lucky enough to work a 9-5 next to a bus stop. My work has a bus stop, but I work a 4-12, so no luck.

My favorite bar is in the next town over, a college town about 15 minutes down the road. If I wanted to get there by public transit, I would need to wait for the hourly bus outside of my apartment, get off at a grocery store, wait about a half an hour for a connecting bus from the college town's bus service, and that's not even counting the drive time.

And if I don't leave the bar by 6 PM, of course, I'm stranded without an Uber or something, because even on weekends (not that I have weekends off work) the busses only run till 7 PM.

And there's other towns nearby that I literally cannot take public transport to. I had to work an event in a smaller city (but still probably within the top 20 in the state for population) about half an hour drive away. There is no bus service that connects me to them. The only options are driving or Uber.

I'm not sure how to feel about this - there will always be dangerous jobs in any worksite and it's better that the danger is more highly compensated than the alternative - that the job is forced upon those with the least alternatives and paid the same or less than safer work (like the situation in the OP with incarcerated firefighters).

I work in a grocery store meat department and was a meat cutter for 2 years at a previous job. It pays well at least partially because you're working with your hands next to a spinning blade for hours a day and it's pretty normal to see old timers missing a finger or two.

If there is a grain of truth to this story, I'd love to read into it more from a less biased source like Global Times or SCMP.

I agree that I think it's silly to draw everything back to "Orientalism".

I would just say that North Korea and Enver Hoxha were/are based and good, actually.

Israel would claim that the flotilla was providing material assistance to a military enemy, and were a legitimate target

I was going to answer "in the Internet Hole", which was also my college nickname

If this sort of thing happened in Korea we'd be hearing of it every day for years. Unfortunately this is a UK/US Phenomenon.

There is a double filter, but it's on the part of German law, not feddit mods.

In Germany, it is legal to say "Hamas is just as evil as the Nazis and has the same goals and aims". It is illegal to say the same thing but with "Israel" or "Zionism" instead of "Hamas".

Death to Germany

Organize and educate yourself. Develop an understanding of Marxist Historical Materialism, especially by reading Lenin and Mao.

The first thing to understand is that there is nothing valuable you can do as an individual to advance Communism. Communism is not an Individualist ideology. The first step is to find or build a local group of like-minded individuals. Once you've done that, you can ask, "What should we do?". There is no substitute for meeting real people in real rooms in real life.

There seems to be confusion in the comments over facts cleared up in the body text.

The error was mislabeling, which is the most common error in food production. They made perfectly uncontaminated Prawn and Lobster Lasagna and then put the wrong label on it. It should have been caught by quality control at the factory but mistakes happen.

Just earlier this week we had to pull a couple cases of Italian Sausage at work because they were accidentally labeled with a sell by of "Mar 15" instead of "May 15".

There are plenty of governments that do that. Cuba, China, Vietnam, Korea, the late Soviet Union.

While Stalinist ultraleft economic policies were not so generous to small businesses, the new Chinese model (which has been adopted by most Socialist states, bar Korea, which hews still to the failed Stalinist model) focuses on nationalization of heavy industry (steel, aggregate, resource extraction, refinery) while allowing consumer goods and small-scale retail to remain in the hands of business owners.

The reason this doesn't happen in the West or its neocolonies is that it hampers the wealth and resource extraction of the international finance capital class.

The United Nations is designed to be an open forum for nations to peacefully resolve issues. The body to handle things like this would be the Security Council, which has five permanent members: France, Britain, Russia, China, and the United States, along with a number of randomly selected members.

In this case, the United States is blocking the UN's ability to hold Israel responsible. It's just the United States. The protection of the United States in the international community is the only thing allowing Israel to continue its genocide.

Who?
